Mail server

it's not surprising dynamic addresses are being blocked. this is down to virus infested machines spamming and getting blacklisted. i guess i'm just lucky with my address at the moment. why not set it up to relay outgoing mail through bt's smtp servers?

for dyndns, i have a bt 2500v router and the option is under advanced, virtual sever, dynamic dns...

I'll give that a go, thanks :)

I've got it set up to relay through BT now & it's working perfectly :D

Thanks very much Marc ;)

some mail providers just won't accept your mail regardless of what your ip address is. this is because your domain you're sending from doesn't match the domain they get when they look up your ip address eg

mail from [email protected]

but when they lookup up your ip, they get

host81-122-226-57.range86-128.btcentralplus.com

and because they don't match, they'll reject it. only way round this is to get a static ip and pay for dns. longshot is, it's not worth running a mail server at home. :D

edit: too slow for your edit... :p
